When her estranged mother Noelle mysteriously dies, Belle finds herself back in Southern California, dealing with her mothers considerable debts and grappling with lingering questions about her death. The stakes escalate when a strange woman in red appears at the funeral, offering a tantalizing clue about her mothers demise, followed by a cryptic video about a transformative spa experience. With the help of a pair of red shoes, Belle is lured into the barbed embrace of La Maison de Meduse, the same lavish, culty spa to which her mother was devoted. There, Belle discovers the frightening secret behind her (and her mothers) obsession with the mirrorand the great shimmering depths (and demons) that lurk on the other side of the glass. Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut in this surreal descent into the dark side of beauty, envy, grief, and the complicated love between mothers and daughters. With black humor and seductive horror, ROUGE explores the cult-like nature of the beauty industryas well as the danger of internalizing its pitiless gaze. Brimming with California sunshine and blood-red rose petals, ROUGE holds up a warped mirror to our relationship with mortality, our collective fixation with the surface, and the wondrous, deep longing that might lie beneath. 'A brilliant, biting critique of western beauty standards as well as a soaring, phantasmagoric, Angela Carter-esque fairy tale about trauma and the loss of self.Rougeis deeply unsettling, funny, obsessive, and unlike anything I've read. A truly mesmerizing read.'Paul Tremblay, author ofThe Cabin at the End of the World 'Rougeis a fever dreama brilliant, intense, unforgettable horror story about a beauty cult with adeeply moving mother-daughter story at its core. MonaAwadssignature and singular imagination and black humor and empathy are on full display here, and herwild-rideof a tale is masterfully grounded in the emotional devastation of childhood and grief. I loved every word of this.'LauraZigman, author ofSmall World 'There is nobody else like Mona Awad, daring enough to plunge her handsrings and allinto the viscera of storyand discover an unsettling beauty within. ROUGE is her mostmagnetic work yet, a thrilling dystopian romp that knows that beneath the glossy, aspirational veneer of self-care lurks the same old gothic abyss.'Alexandra Kleeman, author ofSomething New Under the Sun 'Unsettling, whimsical, and moving,Rougeis an authentic, innovative kind of narrative magic that's both surreal and absolute. A striking novel ofincandescence and heart.'Iain Reid, author ofI'm Thinking of Ending Things 'Awads latest is a dreamy (or perhaps nightmarish) gothic fairy tale about a mother, a daughter, and their shared obsession with their own beauty. Like all of Awads novels, it reels you in, shakes your brain until youre not sure what youre seeing, and then floats off cackling on a cloud of smoke. Metaphorically, that is. Id forgive you for not being sure.'Lit Hub (Most Anticipated Books of 2023) 'Mona Awad, I will read everything you ever write. She is a writer of unbelievable talent.'Tor.com '[A] hypnotic tour de force Awad approaches the increasingly well-trod ground of sinister wellness gurus with aplomb, creating an atmosphere of creeping discomfort and surreality right from the start. This is the stuff of fairy talesred shoes, ballrooms, mirrors, and thorns but also sincerity, poignancy, and terror.'Kirkus(Starred Review) '[A] delightfully twisted fairy tale The authors acerbic wit radiates in this excoriating story of beautys ugly side.'Publisher's Weekly. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
